Question: Problems ( 1 5 pts each ) Table 1 - 1 below provides annual peak stream flows and corresponding years for Wolf Creek via USGS

Problems (15 pts each)
Table 1-1 below provides annual peak stream flows and corresponding years for Wolf Creek via USGS gage 02378170. The standard deviation of these data is 2,134, while the skew is known to be 2.11; however, it has been determined that the data follow a normal distribution. Using Table 1-2, determine/answer the following: 40%,20%,10%
S
a. The 0.04,0.02, and 0.01 AEP flows. 52.2,26.1,13.1
s
b. The probability of observing a 6,000cfs event. 30%
c. The probability of observing the 100-year event in a 15-year period. 20%
Bonus (3 pts): What term is used to define abnormal peak flows observed in the years 2014 and 2020?
